08:19 rabeeh looks i'v missed crts1973
08:38 rabeeh Bluerise : http://imx.solid-run.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=48&p=1215#p1215
08:38 rabeeh can you provide any update of this? _Adik_ on the forums is interested in openbsd port too.
08:41 sickness me too =_)
08:41 sickness ghgh
10:23 rabeeh sickness: great. but why did you choose this nickname? :)
10:23 rabeeh sickness: are you interested as a user or as a developer?
10:24 sickness rabeeh: well I was inspired by the malinconic poem "spleen" by baudelaire, but it was in 1997 =_)
10:24 sickness rabeeh: user, I use openbsd on other hardware, and I'm experimenting with the cubox with debian, but, if openbsd was available, I'd like to use it instead of debian =_)
10:28 SYS64738 hi
10:29 SYS64738 I've a cubox pro, is it normal to see this at boot:
10:29 SYS64738 DDR3 @ 400Mhz, TClock @ 166Mhz
10:29 SYS64738 ?
10:44 rabeeh yes
20:11 jas-hacks_ yes
20:17 rabeeh jas-hacks_: hey
20:17 jas-hacks_ rabeeh: hi
20:58 rabeeh all: http://cubox-i.com/carrier-one-naming-contest-winner/
20:59 biot not more animalboards!
21:00 biot http://animalboard.org/
21:00 biot better get it registered right away :)
21:09 rabeeh biot: good one
21:09 _rmk_ and I've sent the patches for mainline with the new name :)
21:10 rabeeh _rmk_: \o/
21:11 rabeeh _rmk_: your sixth sense is really advanced... you seem to know the unknown
21:12 _rmk_ I can't think how that happened :)
21:17 hste rabeeh: still snow down there?
21:18 rabeeh snow is over
21:18 rabeeh from last weekend
21:49 hste rabeeh: I'm running my gk802 at 1.2Ghz and redused voltage to 122500 from 127500 and it runs stable
21:53 rabeeh reduced ??!!
21:54 rabeeh reducing voltage makes it stable?
21:54 rabeeh oh you mean thermal wise
21:54 hste oh it was stable on 127500 as its default:) But tried setting it down
21:55 Bluerise hey rabeeh
21:55 rabeeh hi Bluerise
21:55 Bluerise Hummingboard? Nice!
21:55 rabeeh :)
21:56 Bluerise that is a good choice!
21:56 hste what will be shortname? h1 etc
21:56 rabeeh it rings simply great
21:56 Bluerise Agreed
21:56 rabeeh hb-i1
21:58 hste :) hb is what we call home made spirit
21:58 hste in norway
21:58 Bluerise rabeeh: about the OpenBSD support: I think the C1 worked for me with the basic implementation. I just didn't get the second USB to run (OTG in host mode) and was waiting for stable linux support for that.
21:59 rabeeh hste: have link?
21:59 Bluerise rabeeh: I will install a copy on the C1 and make sure, that all officially supported devices work. (like, sd, one usb port, ethernet)
21:59 rabeeh Bluerise: great
21:59 hste rabeeh: link on what?
21:59 Bluerise Didn't have much time the last weeks, was debugging lots of stuff.... :(
22:00 jas-hacks_ rabeeh: Was this the older hummingboard ;) http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102633505
22:00 rabeeh hste: an example of such home made spirit?
22:00 rabeeh or that's any spirit?
22:00 Bluerise rabeeh: Question: What difference is there between the C1 and the actual products? pin changes?
22:00 rabeeh that is home made?
22:01 rabeeh jas-hacks_: comeon; you can't be that old to remember that board :)
22:01 rabeeh Bluerise: minor differences. mainly for things that are not exposed (like PCI-E reset etc...)
22:02 rabeeh Bluerise: i'd rather start from anything on the bsd front than having nothing.
22:02 rabeeh for the otg; i'm pretty sure that it needs the USB OTG ID pin to be internally pulled down inside the chip
22:02 rabeeh for Cubox-i there are enough pins that we can use the OTG ID pin to wire it to GND
22:03 hste rabeeh: hb is shortname for hjemmebrent http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjemmebrent
22:03 rabeeh in HB there aren't enough pins; and the OTG ID pin is actually used for something else
22:03 rabeeh so internally it's pulled down to indicate that it's a host
22:04 Bluerise rabeeh: To indicate to linux or to the chip?
22:04 rabeeh chip
22:04 rabeeh Bluerise: are you using the mainline u-boot?
22:05 rabeeh http://imx.solid-run.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_the_kernel_and_u-boot_for_the_CuBox-i_and_the_HummingBoard#U-Boot
22:05 rabeeh ?
22:05 Bluerise I'm using one i build some weeks ago, from... crap, how was his name?
22:05 rabeeh the one with hdmi support in u-boot?
22:05 rabeeh anyhow; please notice the boot sequence.
22:05 rabeeh it should boot with completely no environment settings
22:06 Bluerise I was using https://github.com/linux4kix/u-boot/commits/imx6
22:06 rabeeh this can be best done using /uEnv.txt on the first partition; if you really want to make it a bit less easily to modify then use boot.scr
22:06 rabeeh Bluerise: those are the same; almost
22:06 Bluerise Yeah, but I think my tree was 2 months old...
22:06 rabeeh jnettlet has set by default a very good bootcmd
22:06 Bluerise uEnv.txt sounds good
22:07 Bluerise we actually already use uenv.txt
22:08 Bluerise I will probably need to modify the installer a little bit though...
22:08 Bluerise I will build a new u-boot and have another try. :)
22:08 Bluerise otherwise it was running fine
22:09 rabeeh Bluerise: sounds great
22:09 rabeeh do you already have some build instructions?
22:09 rabeeh would love to see those on the wiki !!!
22:09 rabeeh btw - for now in Linux world; the only difference between all the boards is the u-boot
22:09 rabeeh the kernel and user space is all unified.
22:10 Bluerise I hope that my BSD kernel boots on all types of them.
22:11 Bluerise We usually ship a snapshot
22:12 Bluerise that's basically... a set of tars: base (complete user land), etc (configuration files), X for graphics stuff and ports (not supported for arm...), and the compiler
22:12 Bluerise also the kernels, including ramdisk kernels to install the OS
22:13 Bluerise also a miniroot, which you can "dd" to any sd/usb stick, which directly boots into the installer :)
22:24 dbsx Catching up where things are at. Do we have a working Linux Mint for the i4pro? Where do I get it?
22:25 hste dbsx: linux mint isn't made for arm.
22:25 dbsx so what is available?
22:26 rabeeh dbsx: ubuntu and others will follow
22:28 dbsx When would you expect an Ubuntu to be available?
22:29 rabeeh dbsx: few days
22:29 rabeeh there are images from jas_hacks_ and hste on the forums
22:29 rabeeh it works great; but lacks gstreamer support (i.e. video playback)
22:32 dbsx good news. Has anyone tried a PXE boot on the i4pro? I was hoping the i4pro would make it as a thin client.
23:24 mhoney_work Haven't got mine yet... but that sounds neat
